About This Program

A compilation of highlights from the recent natural history documentary. In the Namib Desert, a pair of ostriches raise their family in the searing heat to keep them safe from predators - but time is ticking as the chicks begin to hatch. In the cold waters of North America, a little horn shark stumbles into an ambush set by an angel shark - but the potential victim has a secret weapon. In Botswana, newly hatched 'lily-trotter' chicks learn how to walk on water, and in Bali, long-tailed macaques steal tourists' valuable items - which they use to barter with staff for food

Planet Earth III: Wonders of Nature broadcasts on BBC Two HD at 8:00pm, Saturday, 3 January 2026. (Subtitles, repeat)
